    According to TLD size chart, they have only 32" inseam (34" waist). But my LBS has these in stock, I'll check the real world sizing. Thanks for the tip.

    Stronger Wheels?

    Another vote for Oozy Trail 395. I'm running them on my acoustic bike park ride for the second season now. No problems. I have WTB Vigilante 29x2.5 in the front and in the rear Maxxis Aggressor 29x2.5WT (with cushcore).

    MTB Clothing

    I wear loose fitting, long sleeve running tops as well. Looks nicer than the giant logo mtb stuff and at least half the price. For shorts the TLD Skylines are best summer shorts ever. Really nice! For wetter times I have Madison Addict (I guess they are called ETD now) waterproof shorts. Nice...

    2016/2017 Specialized Turbo Levo / Kenevo FAQ - Discussion - Info Thread

    Good to know. I'm probably one version behind. Mine does not assist at all at any assist levels. Hopefully I'll hear something from the shop today.

    2016/2017 Specialized Turbo Levo / Kenevo FAQ - Discussion - Info Thread

    My 2017 Levo started to stop assisting when the battery level went under 30%. In Mission control everything looked OK, but the battery health was only 90%. I took the bike to the shop today and they ran diagnostics. Seems like one of the cells has gone bad in the battery. Now we're waiting for...

    Name one part of your bike you think is perfect.

    All parts that don't need maintenance. If I really have to pick one, it would be WTB Pure saddle. Been riding it for years, I have one on all of my bikes.

    E passport du soleil - suggestions for a lock

    4kg chain is probably not something that one wants to have in the backpack when riding in a bike park. I use a lock like ottolock to attach my bike to bike rack etc. Yes, it's not thief proof, but stops the opportunist thief from riding away with my bike. So far so good.

    Flashing US firmware in Europe?

    I guess VPN, fake GPS or IP addresses won't get you anywhere. Why would manufacturers go thru such a hassle and unreliable way to determine location when they can just program it in the motor/controller.

    How many eBikes have you had/owned?

    I'm on my 2nd bike. The first one was KTM Macina Freeze e-fat. It was ordered 10/2014 and delivered 5/2015. Rode about 3000 km on it. I currently have a Turbo Levo 2017, bought it second hand with only 200km on it Oct 2017. I'm going to ride it at least year or two more :-)

    Anyone know when new seasons models coming out & what colours?

    August - September is when the new bikes are usually announced. Then it's 1-12 months until you can actually buy one.

    Value loss on an emtb? - real world

    How much would you pay for a top end 2017 Levo today? Would you even consider one? It will be the same for 2019 models in 2021.

    Value loss on an emtb? - real world

    I would say 40% first year, 15-20% second year and good luck selling anything over three years old..

    Seats

    WTB Pure for me. I have one on all of my bikes (4).

    Don't be a d@ck! Simple EMTB riding rules to follow!

    I'll add one. Mark your rides as ebike rides in Strava. Segment does not exist? Then create it.

    Today's commute. A bit chilly, -8C, but not too bad.

    For you Kenevo fans.

    Landing to flat from 10ft? That's over 3 meters :eek: I'd like to see a video of that.

    Kenevo Gen1 Official 2018/2019 Kenevo thread

    No they are not. 27.5x2.8 is smaller than a 29er. 27.5x3 is almost there, but still a bit smaller. 27.5x3 is quite a lot bigger (volume) than 27.5x2.8, more than numbers suggest. There are variations between tires and manufacturers, but take this as a rule of thumb. I've had them all, including...

    2019 turbo levo vs eOne-sixty 800?

    Haha, quote of the day - thanks :D I would also think about dealer support. Ebikes are still a bit new and possibility to have issues is pretty high. I'm on my 2nd emtb and both have required some work with the motor or motor area which a regular bike shop can't handle.
